Course Summary
Interest in the Scrum and Agile process framework is exploding as companies discover that Scrum enables them to manage software projects with greater reliability, and improve responsiveness to customers. This class extends your knowledge of Scrum to the level you need to create, manage, and execute a Scrum process for software development.
The first two days of the course are designed to teach attendees how to manage and execute Scrum processes within real world project environments. The Agile Manifesto and philosophy are woven into measurable and deployable activities taught by an instructor who has years of successful Agile implementation experience. The third and final day of the course is designed to teach attendees how to manage requirements within complex, multi-team Scrum environments. Focus is on the interlocking roles of the Scrum Master and Product Owner.
